I’m on book 11 of 14 in the Wheel of Time series. So many people have said it’s the greatest fantasy series of all time. I feel like I’m still waiting for it to get good. I’ll finish the series out of pure stubbornness, but I can’t say I enjoy it.
Each book is 1,000+ pages long. A large portion of the text is descriptions of peoples’ clothing, hair, and skin, along with frequent complaints about the weather. None of the characters are relatable or even memorable. Nothing happens except boring descriptions of unrealistic politics. Magic is a huge part of this world, but it’s rarely used and only given vague, repeated descriptions.
I’m hoping the final three books are better, since a new author took over the writing after the original author passed.
